Chapter 29: Who's the Real Head of the Family

No matter how difficult the task was, they had to bite the bullet and do it.

Wen Chi quickly finished several daily tasks and exchanged the least amount of points for two big white steamed buns as breakfast. He sat on the small wooden stool in the yard and was about to start eating when Sui Sui moved a stool and sat down next to him, staring straight at the big white steamed buns in his hand.

"Want to eat?" Wen Chi asked.

"Yeah!" Sui Sui nodded.

After hesitating for a moment, Wen Chi broke off a small piece of the steamed bun and gave it to her. He himself quickly finished the remaining one and a half steamed buns with cold water. The bullet comments said that he ate so fast because he was afraid that Sui Sui would finish eating and then go after his buns. The audience was indignant: Wen Chi is so stingy. What's wrong with Sui Sui eating two of your buns?

After waiting patiently for Sui Sui to finish eating the steamed bun slowly, Wen Chi helped her change into a T-shirt and shorts that were convenient for moving. Then, he picked up the things he had prepared long ago. "Let's go."

Sui Sui looked enviously at the bamboo basket on Wen Chi's shoulder and exclaimed. "Can I carry it for a while?"

Wen Chi suddenly remembered that because of Sui Sui's joining, the program team had prepared a lot of things temporarily. Besides Sui Sui's change of clothes, there was also her exclusive small bamboo basket. He immediately went into the room and rummaged it out. The small bamboo basket was specially made according to Sui Sui's small body. The audience in the live stream was so cute that their hearts melted. The bullet comments were flying, all shouting how cute it was.

Sui Sui's eyes widened like bells. "Wow!" She couldn't wait to put it on her back. All the way out, she was as happy as a little rabbit, hopping around, and the small bamboo basket behind her was also bouncing up and down. She was so happy that she was like a runaway wild horse, running around everywhere! Sometimes she rushed to the front like a little rocket, turning left and right in the woods; sometimes she hid quietly in the grass, and when Wen Chi was anxiously looking around, she jumped out with a howl to scare him.

As for Wen Chi, he had to look at the location of the pond marked on the black manual in his hand to find the way, and also had to keep an eye on Sui Sui to make sure she didn't run away. He was so busy that his head was spinning and his eyes were hardly enough.

"Sui Sui, don't run around." Wen Chi had no temper left with Sui Sui, and he said this weakly.

Sui Sui was very smart and immediately sensed his depression. She took the initiative to come over. "What's wrong? Let me see!"

Wen Chi stared intently at the simple drawing map on the manual, saying it was nothing, but his eyebrows were knitted into a frown. Sui Sui pulled his arm and finally saw the map. Although she couldn't read, she could understand the pictures.

"I know this place!" Isn't this the place where she used to play with water?

Of course Wen Chi didn't believe it. Sui Sui, however, was full of confidence and rushed to the front. "Follow me!"

"Sui Sui! Don't run too fast!" Wen Chi had no choice but to speed up and follow.

Sui Sui ran so nimbly in the mountain forest, like a little gazelle. The flowers, plants and trees seemed to be her good friends, making way for her. Looking at Wen Chi again, he was unfamiliar with the terrain, running clumsily and slowing down the speed. He could only reluctantly follow a few steps behind Sui Sui. The bullet comments were all laughing at Wen Chi for being worse than a three-year-old child.

Suddenly, Sui Sui in front stopped. Wen Chi just breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down his steps. "Sui Sui, let's still take a look..." Before he finished speaking, the sound of gurgling water came to his ears.

Pushing aside the grass and trees, a clear spring flowed down the mountain and gathered into a blue-green pond. The pond water was as clear as an emerald, lying quietly in the forest, like a paradise.

Surprisingly, they really found it! Wen Chi's eyes widened.

The aerial camera hovering in the air happened to capture his surprised expression. The audience in the live stream were laughing uproariously:

[My Sui Sui baby is really amazing!]

[I told you so! Wen Chi can't compare to Sui Sui!]

[Wen Chi is such a road idiot! If it weren't for Sui Sui, he probably wouldn't be able to find it until the sun went down!]

[The answer to 'Who's the Real Head of the Family' is obvious!]

[Wen Chi, stop struggling and just listen to Sui Sui from now on!]

Amid the jeers of the audience, Sui Sui put her hands on her hips, raised her little head, and snorted proudly: "How is it? Is it here?"

Wen Chi was still in a daze. "Yes... yes."

[Wen Chi, look, this is the territory that Sui Sui king has conquered for you!]

[Another day of envying Wen Chi and feeling so twisted!]

[Wen Chi, get out of the way! Let me protect Sui Sui!]

Sui Sui's little face was rosy and white, smiling like a blooming flower. She opened her small mouth and took a deep breath of the damp and fresh air, and the stray hairs on her head shook. She giggled twice, carefully took off her small bamboo basket and put it away, then kicked off the shoes she was "forced" to wear, and stepped on the grass on the shore with her bare feet. Then, she raised her chubby little arms high, and her cheers were like silver bells ringing: "Wow! Water!"

Wen Chi had just come to his senses and was about to ask a question when he saw Sui Sui running towards the pond in big strides. Her small body was full of momentum, jumping up like a small cannonball: "Catch fish! Catch fish!" Sui Sui remembered the task Wen Chi said!

After shouting, with a splash, Sui Sui plunged into the water. Circles of ripples spread on the water surface, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared.

This happened so fast that the surprise on Wen Chi's face hadn't faded before it turned into horror. "Sui Sui!" He shouted loudly, casually threw away the bamboo basket on his back, and without even taking off his shoes, he dived into the water.

This sudden situation startled the staff at the base camp and also dumbfounded the audience in the live stream. The bullet comments that were joking and playing tricks just now all panicked:

[Crazy...]

[Why did Sui Sui jump in suddenly?]

[This must be a safety accident! What was the program team doing? Couldn't Wen Chi even watch over a person?]

[Am I the only one who's not very worried? Sui Sui should be very good at swimming, so when she saw the pond, her first reaction was to jump in. In her opinion, this was something she could do. Generally, children who can't swim would only test the water on the shore first. Don't underestimate children's sensitivity to wild dangers. Don't worry too much, everyone.]

[How could I not worry? The person disappeared in the water! And Wen Chi? Where did he go? Didn't both of them have an accident? Hurry up and send someone from the program team!]

[I'm going to call the police!!]

The audience was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, and the program team was no better. They quickly controlled the aerial camera to approach the pond.

With a splash, Wen Chi emerged from the water, shook the water droplets on his head, and his face was full of anxiety: "Sui Sui! Sui Sui, where are you?"

There was silence and no response. Wen Chi took a deep breath and dived into the water again. The program team and the audience were extremely anxious, watching helplessly as Wen Chi dived and emerged again and again. After several times, there was still no sign of Sui Sui. Almost everyone was on the verge of despair.

At this time, Sui Sui quietly emerged, her little face with water droplets, and her eyes were black and shiny. "Why are you calling me?"
